Drapers - Boohoo revives ties with controversial supplier

Clothing manufacturer GN Euro is once again doing business with the fast fashion giant after it set up a new site in Morocco under a different name, after being “disengaged” back in 2021, the Telegraph reported.

Boohoo cut ties with more than 400 suppliers after allegations of poor working conditions and low pay at Boohoo factories.

Drapers has contacted Boohoo for comment.

Boohoo said that all the goods it now sources from GN Euro come from its factory in Moroccan city Tangier, where the supplier trades under the name Euro Touch.

In 2020, third-party auditors reportedly found 18 factories associated with Boohoo paying below minimum wage. An investigation by the Guardian said audits dating between 2017-2020 highlighted some workers in the supply chain were being paid between £3-£4 per hour.
